CIS Accounting Software

Manage Your Contractors & Subcontractors

What is the Construction Industry Scheme?

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a scheme for self-employed contractors and subcontractors working in the construction industry. HMRC has set out a number of rules that you must follow if you’re a CIS contractor. You must declare how much you’ve paid to your subcontractor, and how much you will pay in tax to HMRC.
